The original long discussion with the patch was intentionally trimmed forthe kernel submit. They were marked broken not just because we could findno users but also because the code in the kernel has some very seriousflaws which I was able to demonstrate are exploitable.

Had it merely sucked it wouldn't have been marked as broken.

The bigger problem is that the design of the ancient midlayer gs code ituses is so broken that it really needs a major rework or the sx driverextracting from it completely. Both are major bits of work.
